Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound

An abdominal aortic ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging test that uses sound waves to create pictures of the aorta and surrounding abdominal structures. It is commonly used to detect issues such as aneurysms, blockages, or other vascular problems. This test helps assess the size, shape, and condition of the aorta, helping prevent serious complications like ruptures. At Revere Health, we offer abdominal aortic ultrasounds to monitor vascular health and detect potential concerns early.

When Is an Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound Recommended?
This test is typically recommended for:

Screening for Aneurysms: Especially in older adults or those with a family history of aneurysms.
Monitoring Existing Aneurysms: To track changes in size and growth.
Vascular Health Assessment: For patients with risk factors like high blood pressure or smoking.
Investigating Abdominal Pain: To check for vascular causes of unexplained pain or swelling.

What to Expect During the Procedure
Preparation: You may need to fast for a few hours beforehand. Your doctor will provide instructions.
Procedure: A technician applies gel to your abdomen and uses a transducer to capture images of your aorta. The procedure is painless and takes about 30 minutes.
Post-Procedure: There’s no recovery time needed, and you can resume normal activities right away.
